Abstract

There are described and illustrated Eugenia mimetica and E. sudestis. Eugenia mimetica is related to E. praeterita, but has smaller blades and shorter inflorescences. Eugenia sudestis is close to E. persicifolia but has glabrous blades and auxotelic inflorescences. Additionally, topics on distribution, phenology, habitat and conservation status are commented for each species.
